Córas

spiritual jazz avant-garde contemporary jazz

Influences: Sun Ra, Seán Ó Riada, Arnold Schoenberg

Córas Trio play fiddle, guitar and percussion alongside transcendental electronics, deconstructing Irish traditional melodies into otherworldly textures and loose, collective free improvisation with seisiún-style playfulness. Their debut album (July 2024) drew acclaim from BBC Radio 3, The Irish Times and The Wire, and they have toured widely, including Eurojazz Mexico City and Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. Belfast-based, they are a leading voice in a wave of musicians reworking traditional music for the 21st century.
